Don’t Do THIS in SharePoint

Be careful when you “Sign in as Different User”

Have you encountered these problems in SharePoint? Here’s why…

  1. Other documents save with an unexpected user account- check whose windows account logged into the machine
  2. Page content shows information from the previous user- check cached information
  3. Session variables contain information from previous user- the cookies have not been cleared

Sign in as Different User is not meant to be a security feature!

This feature allows users who have more than one AD account to  login quickly with a different account to SharePoint. To guarantee that one user cannot see data from a different user, you must log off/log on in Windows. Don’t use the Sign in as a different user.
